Investing Guide at Deep Blue Group Publications LLC Tokyo: How to Invest in Securities
What is a Securities Investment?
Loosely
defined, a security in the world of
finance is an instrument representing financial value. Securities can be
categorized as debt, equity or derivative securities and can be represented
through a certificate or non-certificated book entry form. These certificates
entitle the holder to rights under the security and can include shares of
stock, mutual funds or bonds.
Debt
securities, or bonds, refer to a type of loan in which the investor lends an
institution money in return for the payment of at certain intervals. Bonds can
be issued by credit institutions, government agencies and public authorities
with the initial lending amount agreed to be repaid at a later date. Bonds are
a reliable securities investment because they generate a fixed form of income
through interest. Equities refer to the amount of ownership you buy in a
company and can be purchased in the form of stock and dividends. Derivative
contract securities derive their value from direct securities in the form of futures,
swaps, options and index options.
There are
two types of markets to consider when investing in securities: primary and
secondary. In the primary market, the money for securities is received from
investors in a public offering transaction, such as offering stock to the
public. In the secondary market, the securities are assets held by one investor
selling them to another investor. The secondary market must exist for the
primary market to thrive because holders of securities are able to sell them
for cash in the secondary market to other investors. For this reason, investing
in securities oftentimes comes with organized exchanges to perpetuate both
markets.
